The trigger was the biggest surprise, as most bullpup triggers are abysmal. It is a very weird concept, but it works as advertised. Without fail, every time I lowered the gun after shooting and brass fell on the ground, I looked at the rifle to see if it was broken. When you get enough of them stacked up, they start falling free. Talk about a feat of engineering! There is a small tray under the outer polymer shell, which feeds empty shell casings toward the muzzle. It actually ejects rounds out the front of the handguard, which takes some getting used to. The RFB, in a radical departure from everything, stands for rifle, forward, bullpup.

The RDB ejects empties down, which is a pretty unique design itself. What, exactly, is the difference? RDB stands for rifle, down, bullpup, describing the platform and how it ejects empty casings. The names are so close, I called the RFB the RDB several times during the video portion of this review. In addition to the KSG shotgun, Kel Tec also created the RDB line years back. This is not the first foray of Kel Tec into the bullpup market.
